Last Saturday night, the Sagehens honored James Lambert PO '12, Tim Stapenhorst PZ '12, Kareem Smedley PO '12, Zach Tannous PZ '12, and Andre Shepley PO '12 prior to the start of their final home game. The ceremony highlighted a major issue for the then 0-7 Sagehens. Though its five leaders put...

After Saturday’s loss to the Whittier Poets, Pomona-Pitzer football fans left the stadium with what has become the season’s unofficial mantra ringing in their heads:"The game sure was a lot closer than the score."If the now 0-7 Sagehens can take solace in anything, it’s that they managed to play...

Pomona-Pitzer quarterback Luke Ferguson PO '13 likely didn’t imagine that his career highs in completions, yards, and attempts would come in a game that his P-P Sagehens lost by 41 points. The same goes for wide receiver Ryan Randle PO '14, who had the second-most productive game of his young...

A week after becoming the NCAA’s leading rusher across all divisions, junior running back Luke Sweeney PO '13 was sidelined as the Redlands Bulldogs beat the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens 61-20.

For the third time in their young season, the Sagehens were playing with a lead. Pomona-Pitzer had been up 7-0 and 13-7 against Lewis & Clark the previous week, but both scores were wiped away by touchdowns on the Pioneers’ ensuing drives—the Sagehens simply couldn’t hold on to a lead. This...
